Do her readers lack reading comprehension skills? She explained the value of the brushes alone to be minimally $92 w/o considering inflation, specialty packaging, nor the case yet a quarter of the comments are balking at the $100 price tag.

I wouldn't have the patience to run a blog of that magnitude.

just realized that?? i usually go directly to the comments to have a laugh. they are all extremely negative, and hate mac.

im thinking about the brushes, they are a good deal. but then the cheap me tells me i can get more from strength or apres chic. oh and all my brushes wont be the same. im building my mac and nars collection in slow motion.

T's cost analysis is actually making me want to get the brushes now since it's essentially just regular price, but the good girl in me is saying wait until CCO since I actually just want the 136. Although another person says that will be in about 9 months. Do you realize that is in August/September???

Went to the pro store today and they said NOPE to any pre-orders for this collection. Oh well!! guess i wasnt meant to have 3N....but i think it might be too light anyways. Maybe i will get pure zen instead since T said it was a lil darker and pinker . and half the price!! lol

we will see if i show up early next week to try n get it tho! lol

Same here, Pure Zen seems more wearable to me. I don't understand the buzz around 3N, I don't think it does anything for T's lips

my location got very limited quantities of this. 9 3n 1 will be made a tester 6 runaway red 1 will be made a tester 3 brush sets 1 will be a tester 15 silver dusk and 3 of each mystery powder. and im very happy about this because the pricing on the couture collections tend to scare customers so now its easier for the artist to get rid of the products

Even though I know that this is a marketing gimmick, I still fall for it.

When MAC had the brush set on their website, I didn't buy it because the case and brush handle looked cheap in bloggers' pictures.

Then, I found out that the brush set was sold out and I went frantic and kept stalking the site to see if they would restock.

When Nordstrom posted the collection on their website, I immediately placed an order for the brush set, but then they cancelled my order and said the brush set was unavailable, which is weird because they still allow you to add the brush set in your cart and checkout.
